Chapter 66: Arriving at Hangu Pass

"It's finally here." Looking at the walls of Hangu Pass, which were faintly visible in the distance, Gu Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

Since they set out from Xianyang City, they have been on the road for almost a month, and now they have finally arrived at Hangu Pass.

Looking at Hangu Pass in the distance, the big flag on the wall was still vaguely the flag of the Qin State, Gu Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Along the way, what he was most worried about was not the situation of the Six-Nation Alliance, but whether Hangu Pass was still in the hands of the Qin army.

"Into town!" Gu Xiao raised his horsewhip and signaled to the army behind him.

"Whoa!"

The mighty 200,000 Qin troops immediately rushed towards the Hangu Pass, and the 200,000 troops looked at the Qin army flags flying in the distance, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and finally could be heard for a while.

"Meet the General!" After inspecting the arrows, the 200,000 troops naturally entered Hangu Pass, and soon, the guards of Hangu Pass appeared in front of Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao looked at the royal tomb in front of him, and indifferently ordered: "Get up!" ”

Almost two years ago, when he just returned to Qin, the guard of Hangu Pass at that time was Meng Wu, who was now standing by his side, but now the guard of Hangu Pass has become a royal tomb. Gu Xiao looked at Wang Ling, and while taking Meng Wu and Wang Jian towards the city tower, he asked, "What is the situation of the Six Nations Alliance outside the Guan?" ”

"During this time, the situation outside is very lively!" Originally, Wang Ling had always had a bitter face, but after hearing Gu Xiao's question, he immediately showed a little smile.

"It's lively?" Wang Jian and Meng Wu asked in unison.

"Yes, you don't know! During this period of time, among the six-nation coalition forces outside the gate, there would be quarrels almost every day, and villains such as Long Yangjun and Guo Kai would attack Xinlingjun and Li Mu all day long. Even, if Tian Dan hadn't stopped him yesterday, it is estimated that Xinlingjun would have split Longyangjun! Wang Ling said with a smile.

"What's going on?" Gu Xiao asked carefully.

He must not doubt whether what Wang Ling said is true, as a person who has dealt with Xinlingjun, he really knows too well, although Longyangjun is known as the third swordsman of Wei, but in front of Xinlingjun, the first swordsman of Wei, it is estimated that he is no different from a child.

If Xinlingjun really wants to kill Long Yangjun, it is estimated that he is not an opponent at all.

In the past two years, Gu Xiao asked himself, his swordsmanship has improved greatly, compared to the decisive battle with Bian Dongshan back then, it is still surpassed, but he still dare not say that he has full confidence in the alliance of Shangxin Lingjun and Zhu Hai without using the whirlwind sword style.

Wang Ling obviously found this kind of thing very interesting, and when Gu Xiao asked at this moment, he immediately said: "According to the news from the Black Ice Terrace, yesterday morning, Xinling Jun sent someone to send an urgent item to the Wei State. He asked the king of Anli to immediately send a batch of grain, grass and military supplies. As a result, this caused Long Yangjun to attack! At that time, Long Yangjun accused him of yin and yang weirdness, saying that Xinlingjun was wasting food and salary in vain under this Hangu Pass. was so angry that Xinling Jun almost split him with a sword at that time, but Tian Dan finally pulled them away! ”

"Hahahaha!" Gu Xiao and the other three laughed in unison, laughing very happily.

Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, just listening to Wang Ling's retelling here, they could imagine how Xinlingjun was so angry that his beard jumped up at that time. I have to say that Long Yangjun can make the calm Xinlingjun angry like this, which is really admirable.

"Wait!" Gu Xiao laughed a few times, then reacted, and asked Wang Ling, "You just said that King Xinling wanted King Anli to send grain, grass and military supplies, why, are the people below not enough to eat?" ”

Wang Ling nodded, not understanding why Gu Xiao asked this, but he still replied honestly: "The Six-Nation Alliance below has been arguing for more than half a month, and the grain and grass transported from Zhao State are no longer enough. Guo Kai of Zhao State has been crying poor for the past two days, so Xinling Jun plans to transport a batch of grain and grass from Wei State! ”

"What about the situation in Hangu Guanzhong?" When Gu Xiao heard Wang Ling say this, he suddenly felt a big sigh in his heart, the development of the situation was really not what he expected, there were constraints from the country, even if Xinling Jun and others were higher than the sky, there was nothing to be done.

When Wang Ling heard Gu Xiao start to ask about the situation in Hangu Pass, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "The situation in Hangu Pass is very bad!" ”

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiao asked puzzled.

In just such a short period of time, he had already observed the situation in Hangu Pass, on the wall of Hangu Pass, although there were traces of war everywhere, but there was not much despair and sadness on the faces of the soldiers, it can be seen that the military heart is available, and there is no need to worry about this problem at all. He doesn't understand, what will happen if Hangu Pass is difficult?

"There are not enough arrows in the army!" Wang Ling explained in embarrassment.

"What?" Wang Jian shouted.

As the most important checkpoint in Daqin, Hangu Pass has been stored for almost a year to defend the city, how can it not be enough?

Thinking of this, Wang Jian immediately stared at Wang Ling sternly, and his eyes were almost ready to catch up with the blade.

Under Wang Qian's gaze, Wang Ling smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't run out of arrows, but a special situation!" Some time ago, didn't it rain for almost a month? The vault where the arrows were placed was bitten open by a mouse, and as a result, almost a third of the arrows were soaked and unusable! By the time I found out, it was too late! ”

After speaking, Wang Ling lowered his head in shame, no matter how much he tried to find a reason, he couldn't change the fact that the military supplies were damaged in his hands.

At this time, Wang Ling only hoped that he would not die too miserably!

Syllable! After listening to Wang Ling's narration, Gu Xiao finally couldn't help it, and slapped Wang Ling in the face.

This idiot! It is unforgivable that such a large basket appeared on his hands.

"Come on, drag the royal tomb down and beat fifty military sticks!" Gu Xiao coldly ordered.

"Whoa!" As soon as Gu Xiao gave an order, several of his personal soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled Wang Ling down.

OK! OK! Wang Ling, who was the party concerned, and Wang Jian and Meng Wu, who were onlookers, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, this punishment is really not serious.

Failing to properly take good care of military supplies is not a big crime, but it is not a small crime. To put it more broadly, Wang Ling is qualified to lose his head, but now he is only beating him with fifty military sticks, which is already a light hair.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Wang Ling was dragged down and beaten with a military stick, and a crisp sound continued to reach the ears of Gu Xiao and the others.

"General, when we came this time, we didn't bring many arrows, and this arrow is not enough, what should we do?" Wang Jian looked at the military camp of the six countries below and asked worriedly.

Gu Xiao said: "That's not simple, from today onwards, hundreds of straw men will be hung down to the city every night, isn't it!" ”

Gu Xiao's method can be described as extremely scoundrel, in this way, they can be said to never have to worry about running out of arrows!
